This is a very strange spiny trilobite. It is a Ceratarges (Type D) from the Devonian of Morocco. This trilobite was prefessionally prepared under a microscope in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab here in Colorado. This type differs from the other species of Ceratarges in that it has a broad body and thin, upturned spines. This 3-dimensionally preserved trilobite has many beautiful spines displayed. It has two long, thick ''Ram's Horns'' on the head that have been prepared free-standing. There are two long, upturned genal spines and two pairs of short, thin spines emanating up from the pygidium. In addition to these longer tailspines, there are also many short spines in between the larger spines on the pygidium. Also, each long pleuron tapers into a pointed tip - even the eyes are borne on stalks which have been prepared totally free of matrix. The fossil arthropod is beautifully showcased on the large, sculpted block of limestone. This is a breathtaking example of this rare type of Ceratarges from Morocco.
